Default Silliest question yet...

May sound dumb, but should the born cover vibrate around wildly while the bike is idling and running on an 09 FXDB? I know everything vibrates, but just seems excessive to me....

When new,mine didnt shake enough...took it back to the dealer and they discovered the 'horn shaker fluid' reservoir was low...topped it off and now it shakes like hell!!!...only problem was it wasnt covered under the warranty and the fluid is $20 per fluid oz...glad it was only 3 ozs low....fluid and labor was $240....took them a long time to diagnose the problem...:>)

I use multigrade fluid now. Takes care of both hot and cold weather horn shake. Horn sounds quieter with syn too.
